Content areas with shortcodes are invisible in the builder

Here’s a screenshot of what a section with 3 content areas (classic raw, raw, and content) with shortcodes in them look like in the builder:

That’s right, nothing :slight_smile:

It would be very nice to have some sort of placeholder to show there’s a content area with content that can’t be rendered in the builder. That way we know something is there and we can more easily select it and work with it.

this also applies for dynamic content… and would also be good to have something showing it is there

Yeah, there should be a placeholder there when the item renders at a height that is unclickable. I’ll check it out.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Fixed in beta6.

Nothing has changed in beta6 as far as I can see.

Should look something like this:

It tries to detect if the content is taller than 5px. If not, it is considered empty and outputs that error state.
Could you try inspecting the page and let me know if there are any DOM elements in there? It could be that your shortcodes have a bit of height and are just blank.

Ahhh this might be what I’m seeing in the mobile views of the header…

see the bottom of this thread > https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/header-editor-no-longer-previewing-any-header-beta-6/62799/6

Ok, I’m seeing it now. I had cleared all caches and the object cache and still didn’t see it at first. Seems to work well now, thanks!

Ok! Thanks for letting us know.
